I'm Single Mom
ASM 50's
" Sa, thank you for successfully educating children to be great and wonderful children. I'm proud of you sa. The money I send every month is not much for you. But... You can send them to a higher level. Oh yes Sa, last night when I heard Zaky was going to propose to a woman, I didn't want us to be there. You know what's on my mind?"
" What.." I asked.
" I wish I could meet you and the kids. I pray every third of the night. Sa. I think you've found my replacement, it turns out you're still at home."
" It's not easy for me to trust a man. You know why?"
Akmal stared at me, waiting for the rest of my story.
" Why?" Tanya was impatient.
" You stuck a samurai in my chest." I'm laughing while laughing.
" I'm hurt for your departure, Akmal. I thought after we split up and reunited and got married and had another child.I thought everything would be fine, in fact I still couldn't reach you. You're too expensive for me to cling to, Akmal."
" It turns out that not only we who experience the complexity of building a household heresy, El also experienced what we experienced. You know Sa? Mama regrets throwing you guys out. Mama said, mama is like throwing away a diamond and exchanging it for an imitation. What's more after seeing our children succeed even without my intervention, it feels like mama wants to lick her saliva back and turn the time back like before." Akmal's eyes glared to tell his life story.
" If I had been strong enough to keep you... Maybe we'll stick together." Akmal's eyes glazed over.
" Never regret what happened between the two. If we were together, not necessarily the children would be what they are today. Akmal, thank you, forging me to be a strong woman." I tried to smile even though the water beads started falling one by one on my cheeks.
Maybe this is not a cry of sadness but a cry of happiness. Even though I was alone, and Akmal stayed with Zaskia.
After being satisfied talking, Akmal finally came home.
He looked at me for a moment. Give me a sweet smile. It was a sweet smile that made me love her so much.
" Whatever happens... Stay my sister's husband... "
He just smiled, I don't know what that smile meant. That handsome face disappeared with his white car.
Who would have thought our meeting this time was so mature. We both repented, and tried to stay away from all the adultery that had ever happened between us.
I can love her, I can ask for her, but I also have to know that love does not always have to be together and have each other in marriage.
I am Salsabila, willing to be a widow for the sake of a man who only briefly became the figure of my husband.
L'm.. Salsabila, willing to raise children and care for children only alone.
Although a widow, I want to be an honorable widow.
To you, Akmal, the man who filled my heart, see, I never instilled hatred in my son and daughter.
El still loves you and considers you his father even though you were never present to accompany him, pray for your daughter, so that she can forget the figure of Zaky and find the right man in order to guide her to the paradise of God.
And Joseph, my son who had to lose his affection since he was born. He had to accept defeat because of the selfishness of his paternal grandmother. But my son doesn't pump revenge. He understands, his father has a reason for something chosen by you.
Even though I'm a widow... But I'm happy..
